Their real pet
The pet they know by heart
Start with one clear photo. It stays private, and we delete it once the illustrated character is ready.
Private by default
From someone they love
The face they know. A story they've never heard.
Show DreamPages someone your child already loves. That familiar face can head off on a brand-new adventure—and come back for the next one whenever they ask.
Real family photos stay private and are deleted after the character is ready. That's why this public example begins with an AI-created demo photo.
Marlow and the Wandering Star
Marlow, ready for a story
A parent's guide
A familiar face gives imagination somewhere to begin
Children already know how their pet moves, looks, and feels beside them. Putting that familiar companion into a story makes a new adventure feel personal before the first page is turned.
The markings and little details your child knows by heart stay with the illustrated character. The photo is deleted, while their pet can keep returning for new adventures.
First they spot their own pet. Then they want to know where the wandering star is leading—and when the book ends, whether their favorite companion can come back tomorrow.

Questions, answered
What families usually want to know
How do I turn my pet into a story character?
With Plus, upload a clear photo with one pet as the obvious subject, add their name and the details that matter, and use 1 Storybook Credit. Then they are ready to star in this story and future adventures.
Does DreamPages keep the pet photo?
No. The photo stays private, and it is deleted automatically once the character is drawn. What you keep is the illustrated character.
Can my pet appear in more than one book?
Yes. Once created, the character stays in your library and can return in entirely new stories or a continuing Series.
Can I share a story starring my pet?
Yes. When you choose to share it, DreamPages checks that the character made from your photo is clearly a pet.
Do pet stories include pictures and narration?
Complete Storybooks include page-by-page illustrations and expressive narration.
